Bramber railway station was a railway station in England on the Steyning Line which served the village of Bramber. The station was patronised by tourists visiting nearby Bramber Castle, Potter's Museum and the village. In order to accommodate the special excursion trains the station platforms were extra long.{{Cite web |url=http://www.100megsfree.com/hhg/page3.html |title=Henfield History Group |access-date=23 February 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080514063952/http://www.100megsfree.com/hhg/page3.html |archive-date=14 May 2008 |url-status=dead }}

The railway closed as a result of the Beeching Axe in 1966. Nothing remains of the station today, which now forms part of a traffic roundabout.[http://www.sussexias.co.uk/articles/branch_1.htm Sussex Industrial Archaeological Society][http://www.towers.w-sussex.sch.uk/news/Towers%20News%20Christmas%202003.pdf The Towers Convent School]{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
